In smaller doses it only sedates them... I would be positive you have the correct dosing though before you go and medicate them.
 
the holden container is a 30 gallon trash can that i use for my tank the male and female are goin in that w a airstone close the lid and phone ook it till i get my stuff situtated i dont have a contain big enough for 125 gallon of water so what i was thinking is put the 220 as close as poss. pump into the 220 move 125 pump back to 125 move 220 pump back i know this sounds like a pain in the arse but what do u do im allready goin to have to add 100 gallons of water to fill the tank or 75 gallons like i was doin a water change but until i get everything right they r goin in the trash can im thinking like 1-2 hrs longest thing is goin to b flippen the filtration to the 220
 
Your fish will be fine in a container for an hour, just make sure you cover it.............
 
I wouldn't sedate them, especially if your planning on keeping them sedated while they are in the holding tank, the only reason i say this is because over on another forum which deals in puffers, there was a lot of debate about clove oil and sedating fish, and most people who used it, wouldn't use it to knock their fish out for more than a few min, normally 5min. MAX...

If you know them out for longer, it may cause problems with the fish, even possibly kill them...
